Department of Painting
The Painting specialisation is a comprehensive program that provides students with a strong
foundation in visual arts. It focuses on developing technical skills in various painting techniques
and styles, allowing students to express their creative visions effectively. Through practical studio
work, students are encouraged to experiment and refine their personal artistic style, which is
crucial for developing their artistic identity.
Theoretical studies complement this hands-on approach, offering insights into art history and
aesthetics. This helps students develop a critical understanding of art. The combination of
practical skills and critical thinking ensures that graduates can create compelling visual art and
analyse and understand their work in the context of art history and philosophy.
Additionally, courses on methods and materials teach students about the different tools and
mediums available, allowing them to make informed choices that enhance their artistic
expression. This well-rounded education prepares students for the dynamic and ever-evolving
field of visual arts, ensuring they are ready to contribute meaningfully to the cultural landscape.
